Perfect Superstar

Most of the TV dramas produced by film and television companies are directly sold to TV stations. Although the terms of the contracts are different, the main sale is the first broadcast right and the rebroadcast right.

For big stars, big productions, and popular drama series, the premiere rights are often fired at sky-high prices, often tens of millions, and sometimes a single TV station can't afford it, so they jointly buy and share rights with multiple TV stations.

For this type of drama series, the price of the rebroadcast rights cannot be higher than that of the first broadcast rights, even if the ratings are high.

But there is another type of drama, the first broadcast rights are sold very cheaply, and there is no way to earn back the cost, but after the broadcast, the ratings soar, so the price of the rebroadcast rights will inevitably rise, and even far exceed the first broadcast.

Blue Life and Death is undoubtedly such a TV series with unlimited potential.

Aside from the VAM agreement, Haijin Satellite TV’s purchase of the premiere rights of “Blue Life and Death” is not high. The price of 6 million for 20 episodes can only allow the three investors to recover less than half of the total cost.

Neither Lu Chen, Chen Fei'er nor Cande Films are particularly concerned about this, because they still have the right to rebroadcast.

However, no one expected that Blue Life and Death would become popular so quickly, it was jaw-droppingly popular!

Breaking through the 1% domestic ratings mark, this urban emotional drama quickly became a hot topic, maxed out bloggers and Moments, and the actors in the drama became famous overnight...

And many TV stations saw a golden cash cow!

Blue Life and Death is a weekend drama that is filmed and broadcast at the same time. The broadcast frequency of two episodes a week is actually not conducive to the increase in ratings. Under the same circumstances, it is often inferior to regular serial dramas.

With such a high ratings score now, it has great potential to be tapped, and it will be replayed continuously. It is not unbelievable that the ratings exceed the premiere.

Because the word-of-mouth of a TV show needs to be brewed, especially for mainstream TV viewers. If you missed the previous episodes, you will pay special attention to the reruns-everyone else said yes, it must be good!

Under such circumstances, the rebroadcast rights of Love in Blue, which has not yet been fully filmed, immediately became popular, and there were as many as a dozen TV stations rushing to contact and negotiate.

Among them, the most urgent and powerful ones are undoubtedly Beijing TV Station and East Zhejiang TV Station.

On January 7, representatives sent by Beijing TV Station came to Jinling to discuss with the three parties about the purchase of rebroadcast rights.

One of the representatives is Gu Rui.

Gu Rui is the music producer of Beijing Satellite TV and once served as the music director of Singing China. He is very familiar with Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er, and has a good friendship.

Originally, the purchase of this kind of TV series had nothing to do with Gu Rui, it was the job of the program department.

But Blue Life and Death is so popular and popular, Beijing TV Station was afraid that the rebroadcast rights would be snatched away by its opponents, so they sent Gu Rui to play the favor card.

Gu Rui's status in the capital TV station is neither high nor low, so it is appropriate for him to be a representative to negotiate with Lu Chen.

Another person who came was Lu Chen's acquaintance. That is Zhu Shaotai, the deputy director of the program department of Variety Channel.

The two middle and high-level executives of Beijing TV Station came to Jinling together, which is really sincere.

Otherwise, other small and medium-sized film and television production companies would not be able to find the temple gate of Beijing TV Station even if they were carrying pig heads.

Under normal circumstances, the latter would not take the initiative to lower his posture to discuss with the former!

As the saying goes, there is no righteousness in business. Although the cooperation was not successful last time, this time it does not matter whether it is Lu Chen, Chen Feier or Gande Films. They are still very warmly welcomed.

That night, Zhang De, the general manager of Qiande Films, came forward. Hosted a banquet at the Marriott Hotel in honor of Beijing Satellite TV representatives.

Lu Chen, Chen Fei'er and their managers were all present to accompany them.

Blue Life and Death is a big hit, and the most direct beneficiary is Haijin Satellite TV. The second is Gande Films.

Gande Brothers Films is barely a small fish in the capital's film and television circle full of predators. It has invested in too many TV dramas, but very few have achieved results, and basically has little say in the circle.

This time, with the help of the signboard of Blue Life and Death, Cande Films has made a name for itself in the industry. During this period of time, many people came to seek cooperation or support, and it gained a lot of limelight.

But the Candid brothers didn't get carried away by this. They knew very well whose thigh they were going to hold tightly.

During the filming of Blue Life and Death, Zhang De has been stationed in Jinling. According to him, he is the housekeeper, responsible for solving the worries of the crew.

It is precisely because of Zhang De's coordination that the filming of Blue Life and Death went very smoothly, and was not affected by any unexpected circumstances. It is very hopeful that all filming work will be completed ahead of schedule.

And on the wine table, Zhang De, who had an extremely heavy drinker, was an unrelenting attacker, toasting to the point that Zhu Shaotai, the old Jiang of the winery, couldn't stand it, making the atmosphere in the banquet very warm and harmonious.

After drinking a bottle of red wine, Zhu Shaotai said with a wry smile: Mr. Zhang, Mr. Lu, Mr. Chen, and secondly, I am here to atone for my sins this time, because I was scolded to death by the leader last time. Take care of it first, otherwise I won't be able to go back and explain!

Although Zhu Shaotai meant to joke around with Jiu Jin, what he said was basically the truth.

When negotiating the premiere rights of Blue Life and Death earlier, he didn't pay much attention to it. As a result, he missed this TV series that was expected to become a phenomenon, and it was not uncommonly discussed in the station.

In fact, Zhu Shaotai was quite wronged. If Haijin Satellite TV hadn't come out to intercept him suddenly, Blue Life and Death would have fallen into the hands of Beijing TV Station in all likelihood.

Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er have a good relationship with Beijing Satellite TV, and the Gande brothers are hanging around in the capital.

Under the same conditions, Beijing TV Station is naturally full of confidence.

But they never expected that a guy like Haijin Satellite TV who didn't have much sense of presence would put them together.

It's okay to be intercepted, the big business and big resources of the Beijing TV station don't care much, but they never dreamed that Blue Life and Death Love has become popular all over the country, how can they hold their face?

If it was a loss to CCTV, Shonan Satellite TV or even Zhedong Satellite TV, that would not be a big deal. How embarrassing it is to let Haijin Satellite TV, which is at the younger level, gain such a big limelight!

In particular, Beijing TV Station has vigorously reformed in recent years to fight for ratings, and has paid close attention to high-quality program content. It has invested a lot of money for this, and losing Blue Life and Death is simply an unforgivable mistake.

The leader above slapped the table, and the board below hit Zhu Shaotai.

Who told him to be the main person in charge?

Zhu Shaotai really had a hard time and couldn't tell, because even if he took it seriously, he couldn't come up with the same conditions as Haijin Satellite TV, and the result was no different.

But he couldn't refute it, so he could only take this opportunity to come over to discuss it in person, and even drew Gu Rui.

Gu Rui smiled and said, Director Zhu is quite difficult...

Although the music director is a bit straightforward and not very sophisticated, he also understands what he is here for.

He naturally wants to speak for Zhu Shaotai.

But Zhu Shaotai's half-truth and half-false complaint made Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er look at each other in blank dismay.

The deputy director of the Program Department of the Variety Channel of Dangtang TV Station has to give some face when he talks about it, otherwise he will really offend others!

Zhang De is still experienced, and said with a smile: Director Zhu, you are too serious. There are many companies that have come to negotiate recently. As long as the conditions are similar, we will definitely give it to Beijing TV Station first. We are all from Beijing!

In fact, Zhang De is not a real native of the capital, but he moved his household registration to the capital long ago.

His answer was watertight, taking care of Zhu Shaotai's face, and also guarding his own bottom line.

Facts have proved that Zhang Deshou is very reasonable.

The next day, January 8, the negotiators from Zhedong TV Station came to Jinling.

Interestingly, the one who came was also an acquaintance—Tian Tian!

Tian Tian was originally the host of Zhedong Satellite TV. Because of the incident of being attacked by fanatical fans, she is currently working behind the scenes of Satellite TV and rarely shows her face.

Tian Tian and Chen Fei'er were friends, and Lu Chen was her savior.

Zhedong TV station sent her here, playing the same favor card, the weight is not much worse than the opponent.

Because of the special relationship between the two parties, after the evening banquet, Chen Fei'er took Tian Tian to her room for a private chat, and asked Lu Chen to accompany her.

In the evening, Tian Tian drank a lot of wine, her face was very red and beautiful.

Probably because she was a little drunk, she spoke extra boldly, took Chen Fei'er's hand and asked directly: Sister Fei'er, are you and Lu Chen there?

Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh - what is that?

Chen Fei'er said angrily: Tiantian, I think you drank too much!

Tian Tian hugged her with a smile, and said, I'm very sober, just say so!

Chen Fei'er pretended to be ignorant: Which one are you talking about?

Tian Tian hooked her finger and said, Dating, are you guys having an underground relationship?

Chen Fei'er knew she couldn't hide it, so she nodded.

Really?

Tian Tian's eyes widened involuntarily, and she straightened up with a strange expression: That's really big news!

Chen Fei'er gave her a blank look: We don't intend to make it public.

Tian Tian rolled her eyes and said, Then you have to pay the hush money, and give us the rebroadcast rights of Blue Life and Death, otherwise...hehe!

Chen Fei'er was completely defeated by her rascal: I can't decide this matter.

Even if the relationship is very good and involves the interests of many parties, she can't agree lightly.

This is a matter of principle.

The most important thing is that Beijing TV Station is also negotiating the purchase!

It's too popular to be good!
